Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of FPC packaging, and in particular to a packaging device for FPC. Background Art

[0002] With the continuous development and progress of science and technology, the requirements for circuit boards are getting higher and higher, especially for digital products that pursue convenience and lightness. Flexible circuit boards with the advantages of flexibility, ultra-thinness and light weight have been greatly developed and applied in the field of electronics.

[0003] FPC flexible printed circuit is a highly reliable and extremely flexible printed circuit made of polyimide or polyester film as the substrate. Due to the complex structure of FPC flexible printed board, it is easily damaged by a slight external force. Therefore, FPC needs to be packaged to avoid damage during transportation.

[0004] When packaging FPC, a plastic film packaging machine is usually used. The plastic film packaging machine is one of the latest automatic continuous shrink packaging equipment in China. The structure of the plastic film packaging machine usually includes a frame, the bottom end of the frame is rotatably connected to a film-releasing roller, the film-releasing roller is rolled up with packaging film, an auxiliary roller is arranged above the film-releasing roller, the auxiliary roller is rotatably connected to the top of the frame, the packaging film extends from the film-releasing roller to the auxiliary roller, and the packaging film stretches out a plane for packaging between the anti-wear roller and the auxiliary roller, and the plane is defined as the packaging area; the frame is provided with a rectangular working plate on the side of the packaging area close to the auxiliary roller and the film-releasing roller, the working plate is perpendicular to the packaging area, and the working plate is fixedly connected to the frame, and a hot cutter is arranged on the side of the auxiliary roller away from the packaging film plane, and the hot cutter is connected to a power component, and the power component drives the hot cutter to move toward the working plate until it abuts against the working plate.

[0005] When in use, workers use the conveyor belt to transport the FPC to be packaged to the packaging area. In the process of passing through the packaging area, the film roller rotates to provide packaging film for the FPC, so that the packaging film is wrapped around the FPC. Then, the hot cutter moves toward the working plate driven by the power component to cut the excess packaging film. During the cutting process, the hot cutter melts the packaging film through hot melting, so the packaging film after one packaging maintains continuity and waits for the next packaging process.

[0006] Regarding the above-mentioned related technologies, during the process of conveying the FPC to the plastic film packaging machine, due to the lack of corresponding positioning components on the conveyor belt, it is difficult for workers to control the position of the FPC every time when placing the FPC on the conveyor belt, which will affect the packaging effect of the FPC to a certain extent, and therefore needs to be improved. Utility Model Content

[0007] In order to improve the packaging quality of FPC, the present application provides a packaging device for FPC.

[0008] The present application provides a packaging device for FPC using the following technical solution:

[0009] A packaging device for FPC comprises a plastic film packaging machine, a conveying platform and a positioning component, wherein the conveying platform is used to convey the FPC to be packaged, the plastic film packaging machine is located at one side of the conveying platform and is used to seal the FPC, the positioning component is arranged on the conveying platform and is located above the conveying surface of the conveying platform, and the positioning component is used to position the FPC.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, during the production process, the staff will place the FPC on the conveyor table, and the conveyor belt on the conveyor table will convey the FPC to the location of the plastic film packaging machine, and the plastic film packaging machine will perform film coating and packaging on the FPC. Among them, the FPC will be positioned by the positioning component during transportation, which limits the position of the FPC; because the position of the positioning component relative to the conveyor table does not change, the staff can adjust the position of the FPC each time they package, thereby improving the packaging quality of each FPC.

[0011] Preferably, the positioning assembly includes a first positioning rod and a second positioning rod, the first positioning rod is arranged along the conveying direction of the conveying platform, the first positioning rod and the second positioning rod are parallel to each other, and there is a gap between them.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the FPC passes between the first positioning rod and the second positioning rod, and both sides of the long side of the FPC are restricted by the first positioning rod and the second positioning rod, thereby achieving the positioning of the FPC.

[0013] Preferably, the distance between the second positioning rod and the first positioning rod is adjustable.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, since the FPC has different widths, the distance between the first positioning rod and the second positioning rod can be adjusted accordingly according to FPCs of different specifications, thereby improving applicability.

[0015] Preferably, a fixing sleeve, a connecting rod and a fastener are respectively provided on the conveying platform. The fixing sleeve is hollow and forms a limiting hole. One end of the connecting rod is connected to the second positioning rod, and the other end passes through the limiting hole. The fastener is used to lock the connecting rod to the fixing sleeve.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, when it is necessary to adjust the distance between the first positioning rod and the second positioning rod, the fastener can be removed, and then the position of the second positioning rod relative to the conveying platform can be adjusted, and the connecting rod moves in the limiting hole, thereby changing the relative position of the connecting rod and the fixed sleeve. After adjustment, the fastener can be used to lock the connecting rod on the fixed sleeve.

[0017] Preferably, the fastener is a fastening bolt, which passes through the fixing sleeve and abuts against the connecting rod.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the fastening bolt is a detachable object, and the connecting rod is locked by relying on the screw connection force of the fastening bolt.

[0019] Preferably, a guide wheel assembly is provided on the side of the second positioning rod facing the first positioning rod, and the guide wheel assembly includes a bracket and a plurality of guide wheels. The bracket is connected to the second positioning rod, and each of the guide wheels is rotatably connected to the bracket and is spaced apart along the length direction of the second positioning rod, and the rotation axis of the guide wheel is perpendicular to the conveying surface of the conveying platform.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, when the FPC is transported on the conveying platform, the FPC will have sliding friction with the second positioning rod, which may cause wear on the FPC surface. Now, a guide wheel assembly is added, and the FPC will come into contact with the guide wheel during transportation and cause rolling friction, turning sliding friction into rolling friction. At the same time, the outer peripheral side of the guide wheel is in an arc shape, which can reduce the wear on the FPC surface.

[0021] Preferably, a compression spring is connected between the bracket and the second positioning rod.

[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, when the entire guide wheel assembly is subjected to instantaneous impact pressure, due to the presence of the compression spring, the compression spring will undergo elastic deformation and be compressed, thereby playing a buffering role and further reducing the possibility of damage to the FPC.

[0023] Preferably, a support rod is connected to the second positioning rod, and the support rod is located below the guide wheel assembly and is used to support the bracket.

[0024] By adopting the above technical solution, the connection between the bracket and the second positioning rod relying only on the compression spring is not stable enough, and the support rod is supported under the bracket to support the entire guide wheel assembly.

[0025] In summary, the present application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0026] (1) By setting a positioning component, the FPC will be positioned by the positioning component during transportation, limiting the position of the FPC, thereby controlling the position of the FPC when it arrives at the plastic film packaging machine and improving the packaging quality of each FPC.

[0027] (2) By setting a fixing sleeve, a connecting rod and a fastener, the relative positions of the connecting rod and the fixing sleeve are changed, and then the connecting rod is locked to the fixing sleeve by using the fastener, thereby completing the adjustment of the distance between the second positioning rod and the first positioning rod.

[0028] (3) By providing the guide wheel assembly, the FPC will come into contact with the guide wheel during transportation and generate rolling friction, thereby reducing the contact friction between the second positioning rod and the FPC. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0036] Some embodiments of the present application are described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. In the absence of conflict, those skilled in the art may combine and combine different embodiments or examples and features of different embodiments or examples shown in the present application.

[0037] The present application embodiment discloses a packaging device for FPC. Figure 1 and Figure 2 The packaging device includes a plastic film packaging machine 1, a conveyor platform 2 and a positioning component 3. The conveyor platform 2 is used to convey the FPC to be packaged and convey the FPC to the location of the plastic film packaging machine 1; the plastic film packaging machine 1 is located at the output end of the conveyor platform 2, and the plastic film packaging machine 1 is used to seal the FPC. Since the plastic film packaging machine 1 belongs to the prior art (the background technology has been recorded), the structure of the existing plastic film packaging machine 1 can be directly applied to this application, and no further details are given here. The positioning component 3 is installed on the conveyor platform 2 and is located above the conveying surface of the conveyor platform 2. The positioning component 3 is used to position the FPC.

[0038] Specifically, the positioning assembly 3 includes a first positioning rod 31 and a second positioning rod 32. The first positioning rod 31 is arranged along the conveying direction of the conveying platform 2. The first positioning rod 31 and the second positioning rod 32 are parallel to each other with a gap therebetween. The FPC is conveyed in the gap.

[0039] During the production process, the staff places the FPC on the conveyor table 2, and the conveyor belt on the conveyor table 2 conveys the FPC to the location of the plastic film packaging machine 1, and the plastic film packaging machine 1 performs film coating packaging on the FPC. The FPC is positioned by the first positioning rod 31 and the second positioning rod 32 during transportation, thereby limiting the position of the FPC. Since the position of the positioning component 3 relative to the conveyor table 2 does not change, the staff can adjust the FPC to a substantially same position each time they package, thereby improving the packaging quality of each FPC.

[0040] According to some embodiments of the present application, optionally, please refer to Figure 2. The distance between the second positioning rod 32 and the first positioning rod 31 can be adjusted. Since FPC has different widths, in the actual production process, the distance between the first positioning rod 31 and the second positioning rod 32 can be adjusted accordingly according to FPCs of different specifications to improve applicability. Specifically, a fixing sleeve 4, a connecting rod 5 and a fastener 6 are respectively provided on the conveying platform 2. The fixing sleeve 4 is hollow and has a circular limiting hole. One end of the connecting rod 5 is fixedly connected to the second positioning rod 32, and the other end passes through the limiting hole. The fastener 6 is used to lock the connecting rod 5 to the fixing sleeve 4, wherein the fastener 6 is a fastening bolt, which passes through the fixing sleeve 4 and abuts against the connecting rod 5 to achieve locking of the connecting rod 5. Of course, the fastener 6 can also be a threaded sleeve. By providing an external thread on the outer surface of the connecting rod 5, the threaded sleeve is screwed on the connecting rod 5 and abuts against the fixing sleeve 4, and the position of the connecting rod 5 can also be fixed.

[0041] When it is necessary to adjust the distance between the first positioning rod 31 and the second positioning rod 32, the fastening bolt can be removed, and then the position of the second positioning rod 32 relative to the conveying platform 2 is adjusted, and the connecting rod 5 moves in the limiting hole, thereby changing the relative position of the connecting rod 5 and the fixing sleeve 4. After adjustment, the fastening bolt is used to lock the connecting rod 5 on the fixing sleeve 4.

[0042] According to some embodiments of the present application, optionally, please refer to Figure 2 The second positioning rod 32 is also provided with a guide wheel assembly 7, which faces the first positioning rod 31. The guide wheel assembly 7 includes a bracket 71 and a plurality of guide wheels 72, and the bracket 71 and the second positioning rod 32 are connected by a compression spring 8. Each guide wheel 72 is rotatably connected to the bracket 71 and is spaced apart along the length direction of the second positioning rod 32, and the rotation axis of the guide wheel 72 is perpendicular to the conveying surface of the conveying platform 2.

[0043] When the FPC is transported on the conveyor 2, the FPC will have sliding friction with the second positioning rod 32, and there is a possibility of causing wear on the surface of the FPC. Now, a guide wheel assembly 7 is added, and the FPC will come into contact with the guide wheel 72 during transportation and have rolling friction, turning the sliding friction into rolling friction. At the same time, the outer peripheral side of the guide wheel 72 is in an arc shape, which can reduce the wear on the surface of the FPC. Among them, when the entire guide wheel assembly 7 is subjected to the pressure of the FPC, due to the presence of the compression spring 8, the compression spring 8 will undergo elastic deformation and be compressed, playing a buffering role, achieving flexible contact between the FPC and the guide wheel 72, and further reducing the possibility of damage to the FPC.

[0044] In addition, a support rod 9 is fixedly connected to the second positioning rod 32, and the support rod 9 is located to the west of the guide wheel assembly 7 and is used to support the bracket 71. One end of the support rod 9 is connected to the second positioning rod 32, and the other end extends in a direction toward the first positioning rod 31. The length of the support rod 9 is less than the distance between the guide wheel 72 and the second positioning rod 32. The support rod 9 further supports the guide wheel assembly 7 to improve the stability of the guide wheel assembly 7.

[0045] The implementation principle of the packaging device for FPC in the embodiment of the present application is as follows: during the production process, the staff places the FPC on the conveyor table 2, and the conveyor belt on the conveyor table 2 conveys the FPC to the location of the plastic film packaging machine 1, and the plastic film packaging machine 1 performs film coating packaging on the FPC. During the transportation, the FPC will be positioned by the positioning component 3, which limits the position of the FPC, realizes the control of the position of the FPC when it arrives at the plastic film packaging machine 1, and improves the packaging quality of each FPC.

[0046] The above are all preferred embodiments of the present application, and the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto. Therefore, any equivalent changes made according to the structure, shape, and principle of the present application should be included in the protection scope of the present application.
